A flat top that holds water
Go up after a rain and see a puddle sitting on the chase cover? A flat cover can't shed water. It ponds, and ponded water sits on the metal until it rusts through, then drains straight into the chase.
Chimney makers such as Majestic want the chase top sloped away from the pipe opening so water runs off to the edges. Our pros replace flat covers with ones that pitch outward or rise in the middle, a turned-down edge and a drip, so water leaves the top of the chase instead of sitting on it. Talk to our specialists about the flat chase top in Inglis by calling (352) 675-6366.
Inglis is on our Levy County list of places we serve. When the 2020 Census counted Inglis, it found 1,476 residents.

Local Conditions
Checking seams and collars near the water
In Inglis, the seams and the collar of a chase cover are where salty rain lingers after a storm, and where rust begins. Our pros check those spots and the storm collar on every visit, and a cover showing early pitting gets a written price for replacement before it rusts through. Early pitting caught on a check costs far less than a rusted-through cover and a wet chase.
How It Works

-

The cover, collar, storm collar and cap are looked over first, along with the framing beneath.
-
Measure and order
The chase top is measured on every side, and the cover is made with slope and collars.
-
Fit and fasten
Soft framing is repaired, and the new cover is set, fastened through the sides and sealed.
-
Seal and cap
The storm collar is sealed to the maker's instructions and the listed cap goes back on.

Siding, water barrier and flashing at the base
Water can get in behind the siding at the chase base just as it can at the top. The siding needs a water-resistive barrier behind it, lapped so water runs out and down, and step flashing tucked up under the siding where it meets the roofing.
From inside, a leak at the base can look like a cover problem, so the chase base gets checked along with its top.
Flashing at the base is ours where the roofing around it is sound; siding and barrier replacement go to the right trade, and the quote names them. Both ends of the chase get checked on one visit.
Chase covers where salt is in the air
Galvanized chase covers rust quickly near salt water, and the flat, sheltered surfaces of a chase top are exactly where salt and water sit. The International Molybdenum Association lists horizontal surfaces, sheltered crevices and nearness to salt water as scored corrosion risks, and points to Type 316 stainless for its resistance to chloride pitting.
Our specialists recommend a sloped 316 stainless cover for chases near the coast, with fasteners to match. It costs more than galvanized, and it's the cover that doesn't need replacing again in a few seasons. The seams and collar are checked for early pitting on every visit, since salt collects where water lingers.
Collars and caps near the coast
Salt air corrodes the storm collar, the cap and their clamps alongside the cover, and a rusted storm collar lets water down the pipe even under a new cover.
With the old cover off, our pros check the storm collar and cap for pitting and replace them with the chimney maker's listed parts where needed, sealed to the instructions.
They also look at the fasteners holding the cover and the siding trim around it, since salt works on all the metal up there, and a single rusted screw can start a new streak. Every part is priced.

FAQs
Ask our pros about chase tops in Inglis
Chase cover or chimney cap, which is which?
No. The cover seals the top of the framed box; the cap sits on the pipe. Our specialists check both and price each separately, so you only replace the one that's failing.
Do you check for animals before sealing the chase?
Yes. Nothing gets sealed in. If an animal is nesting in the chase, our animal removal specialists handle it before the new cover goes on.
